Areas I Teach
Course Information
At Â鶹ֱ²¥, all faculty teach a variety of different courses. Typically, we do not use Â鶹ֱ²¥ teaching assistants, which means that your classes will be taught by professors and that you will have plenty of opportunities to get to know the faculty in your discipline.
Below I have listed some of the courses that I teach. We are always developing and trying out new classes, so the list may change now and then.
